Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a compound for use in diagnosis of cerebral degenerative disease. More specifically, the invention relates to a compound useful for amyloid detection at lesion sites in diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease and other diseases with amyloid accumulation.
- Diseases with the onset of deposition of a fibrous protein called amyloid in various organs or tissues in bodies are generally referred to as amyloidosis. A feature common to amyloidosis is that the fibrous protein called amyloid which is enriched with the β-sheet structure is deposited at various organs systemically or at sites topically so that functional abnormalities are triggered in the organs or tissues.
- Alzheimer's disease (hereinafter referred to as AD), which is a typical amyloidosis disease, is known as a disease causing dementia. This disease is lethal with progressive deposition of amyloid in brain, and thus is said to be a disease that causes concern in society compared with other amyloidosis diseases. In recent years, the number of AD patients is rapidly increasing in developed countries with aging societies, thereby causing a social problem.
- From the pathohistological viewpoint, AD is characterized by three pathological findings in brain, namely development of senile plaques, formation of neurofibrillary tangles, and extensive neuronal loss. The senile plaque has a structure mainly composed of amyloid, and is said to appear at the earliest stage of AD onset and thus is pathologically found in
brain 10 or more years before appearance of clinical symptoms. - AD is diagnosed by carrying out various evaluations of cognitive functions (for example, Hasegawa scale, ADAS-JCog and MMSE) in auxiliary combination with imaging diagnosis such as CT and MRI. However, the method based on such evaluations of cognitive functions is low in diagnostic sensitivity at the early stage of the onset, and is furthermore problematic in that diagnostic results are susceptible to inborn cognitive functions of individuals. At present, it is practically impossible to establish a definite diagnosis of AD while an AD patient is still alive, because the definite diagnosis requires a biopsy of a lesion (Non-Patent Document 1).
- Meanwhile, a report tells that amyloid constituting senile plaques is an aggregate of amyloid β protein (hereinafter referred to as Aβ). Also, numerous reports tell that the Aβ aggregate forms a β-sheet structure that causes nerve cell toxicity. Based on these findings, the so-called "Amyloid Cascade Hypothesis" is proposed, which suggests that cerebral deposition of Aβ triggers the downstream phenomena, namely, formation of neurofibrillary tangles and neuronal loss (Non-Patent Document 2).
- Based on these facts, attempts have recently been made to detect AD in vivo using a compound having high affinity with amyloid as a marker.
- Many of such probes for imaging diagnoses of cerebral amyloid are hydrophobic low-molecular weight compounds that are high in affinity with amyloid and high in cerebral transferability and are labelled with various radioactive species such as 11C, 18F and 123I. For example, reports tell 11C or radioactive halogen labeled forms of compounds including various thioflavin derivatives such as 6-iodo-2-[4'-(N,N-dimethylamino)phenyl]benzothiazole (hereinafter referred to as TZDM) and 6-hydroxy-2=[4'-(N-methylamino)phenyllbenzothiazole (hereinafter referred to as 6-OH-BTA-1) (
Patent Document 1, Non-Patent Document 3); stilbene compounds such as (E) -4-methylamino-4'-hydroxystilbene (hereinafter referred to as SB-13) and (E)-4-dimethylamino-4'-iodostilbene (hereinafter referred to as m-I-SB) (Patent Document 2, Non-PatentDocument 4, Non-Patent Document 5); benzoxazole derivatives such as 6-iodo-2-[4'-(N,N-dimethylamino)phenyl]benzoxazole (hereinafter referred to as IBEX) and 6-[2-(fluoro)ethoxy]2[2-2-dimethylaminothiazol-5-yl)ethenyl]benzoxazole (Non-Patent Document 6, Non-Patent Document 7), DDNP derivatives such has 2-(1-{6-[(2-fluoroethyl)(methyl)amino-2-naphthyl}ethylidene)malononitrile (hereinafter referred to as FDDNP) (Patent Document 4, Non-Patent Document 8); and imidazopyridine derivatives such as 6-iodo-2-[4'-(N,N-dimethylamino)phenyl]imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine (hereinafter referred to as IMPY) (Patent Document 3, Non-Patent Document 9), and radioactive halogen labeled forms of compounds including compounds in which a nitrogen-containing 5-membered aromatic heterocyclic group is attached to an imidazopyridine-phenyl via carbons (Patent Document 5 and Patent Document 6). Further, some of these probes for imaging diagnosis have been studied on human imaging and have been reported to show a significant accumulation of radioactivity in AD patient's brain compared with normal persons (Non-PatentDocument 10, Non-Patent Document 11, Non-Patent Document 12, Non-Patent Document 13). -

- As described above, various compounds are disclosed as probes for imaging diagnosis for amyloid, and researched for clinical application. However, there has been no compound which is confirmed to have a clinically tolerable property. In addition, considering a broad range of clinical application, a compound having a sufficient diagnosing property in case of being labelled not only by PET isotope, but also SPECT isotope is desired.
- The present invention has been made under the above-mentioned circumstances, and aims at providing a compound that is effective as a probe targeting amyloid for imaging diagnosis and a diagnostic agent for Alzheimer's disease comprising the compound.
- As a result of repeated studies, the inventors have found that a diagnostic agent for Alzheimer's disease with a sufficient diagnostic property can be obtained by using a compound in which a 5-membered nitrogen-containing heterocycle is attached to a carbon at 2'-position of the pyridinyl group of an imidazopyridine-pyridinyl skeleton via a nitrogen atom of the nitrogen-containing heterocycle, and thus have completed the present invention.

- The compound represented by the formula (2) can be suitably used as a labeling precursor for the compound of the above mentioned formula (1).
- As a non-radioactive halogen substituent, a halogen capable of being a target of nucleophilic substitution reactions using a radioactive fluorine or a halogen capable of being a target of isotope exchange reactions with a radioactive iodine can be used, and preferably chlorine, iodine or bromine can be used. As a trialkylstannyl substituent, various substituents can be used, and trimethylstannyl substituent and tributylstannyl substituent are preferably used.

Fig. 1 shows a scheme of synthesis of 2-[2-(1H-1,2,3-triazole-1-yl)pyridine-5-yl]-6-tributylstannylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine. For the synthesis of 2-[2-(1H-1,2,3-triazole-1-yl)pyridine-5-yl]-6-tributylstannylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine, 1H-1,2,3-triazole is first allowed to react with 5-acetyl-2-bromopyridin; to prepare 5-acetyl-2-(1H-1,2,3-triazole-1-yl)pyridine (Fig. 1 , step 1). This step can be conducted in accordance with, for example, the following procedures. - First, 5-acetyl-2-bromopyridine and 1H-1,2,3,-triazole are dissolved in dimethylformamide, and potassium carbonate is added thereto. This mixture is stirred at 100°C for 2-6 hours, and then the reaction solution is poured into water and extracted with dichloromethane. The dichloromethane layer is concentrated and purified by chromatography, to obtain 5-acetyl-2-(1H-1,2,3-triazole-1-yl)pyridine (
Fig. 1 , step 1). The amount of potassium carbonate to be used may be an amount that can neutralize hydrobromic acid generated during reaction, and is typically an amount equivalent or more to 5-acetyl-2-bromopyridine as the raw material. In addition, the amount of 1H-1,2,3-triazol to be used may be an amount excessive relative to the substrate, and is typically about 3.0 times greater in molar ratio than 5-acetyl-2-bromopyridine. - Next, the obtained 5-acetyl-2-(1H-1,2,3-triazole-1-yl)pyridine is dissolved in dichloromethane and triethylamine. The resulting solution is cooled down to about 0°C, and then bromotrimethylsilane is added thereto. This reaction solution is stirred at room temperature for 10-24 hours. Then, the reaction solution is poured into water and extracted with dichloromethane, and the dichloromethane layer is concentrated. The oily substance resulting from concentration is dried sufficiently and dissolved in tetrahydrofuran. This mixture is cooled down to about 0°C, N-bromosuccinimide is added thereto and stirred at room temperature for about 10-60 minutes. After the completion of the reaction, the solvent is distilled off and purified by chromatography, to obtain 5-(2-bromoacetyl)-2-(1H-1,2,3-triazole-1-yl)pyridine (
Fig. 1 , step 2). The amount of bromotrimethylsilane may be an amount equivalent or more relative to the reaction substrate, and is typically about 2.0 times greater in molar ratio than 5-acetyl-2-(1H-1,2,3-triazole-yl)pyridine. In addition, the amount of triethylamine may be an amount that can neutralize hydrobromic acid generated during reaction, and is typically an amount excessive relative to trimethylsilane bromide. The amount of N-bromosuccinimide may be an amount equivalent or more to the reaction substrate, and is preferably about 1.0 time in molar ratio as much as 5-acetyl-2-(1H-1,2,3-triazole-1-yl)pyridine. - The obtained 5-(2-bromoacetyl)-2-(1H-1,2,3-triazole-1-yl)pyridine is allowed to react with 2-amino-5-iodopyridine in accordance with known methods (for example, the method described in a literature, Zhi-Ping Zhuang et al., J. Med- Chem, 2003, 46, p.237-243), to obtain 6-iodo-2-[2-(1H-1,2,3-triazole-1-yl)pyridine-5-yl]imidazo [1,2-a]pyridine (
Fig. 1 , step 3). - Then, the obtained 6-iodo-2-[2-(1H-1,2,3-triazole-1-yl)pyridine-5-yl]imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine is allowed to react with bis(tributyltin) (
Fig. 1 , step 4) in accordance with known methods (for example, the method described in a literature, Zhi-Ping Zhuang et al., J. Med. Chem, 2003, 46, p.237-243), and purified, to obtain 2-[2-(1H-1,2,3-triazole-1-yl)pyridine-5-yl]-6-tributylstannylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine as the target compound. - When a compound with a substituent at 6-position of the imidazopyridine ring being a trialkylstannyl substituent other than the tributylstannyl substituent is obtained, various bis(trialkyltin)s that fit purposes can be used instead of bis(tributyltin) in
step 4 ofFig. 1 . For example, when a compound having a trimethylstannyl substituent as a substituent at the 6-position is synthesized, a reaction similar to the above may be performed using bis(trimethyltin) instep 4 ofFig. 1 . In addition, a compound with a substituent at 6-position of the imidazopyridine ring being a nitro group can be obtained by performing the reaction in accordance with known methods, except that 2-amino-5-nitropyridine is used instead of 2-amino-5-iodopyridine instep 3 ofFig. 1 , andstep 4 is omitted. - In addition, other precursor compounds according to the present invention can be synthesized by using generally-available raw materials and combining reactions known to the skilled in the art. For example, a compound in which A5 is N and all A6, A7 and A8 are CH in the above formula (2) can be synthesized in accordance with the above steps of
Fig. 1 , except that pyrazole is used instead of 1H-1,2,3,-triazole instep 1 ofFig. 1 . In addition, a compound in which all A5, A6, A7 and A8 are CH in the above formula (2) can be synthesized in accordance with the above steps ofFig. 1 , except that pyrrole is used instead of 1H-1,2,3,-triazole inFig. 1 ,step 1. - Next, a method for production of a radioactive halogen-labeled compound according to another aspect of the present invention will be described, taking the case of radioactive iodine-labeled compounds as examples.
- The synthesis of radioactive iodine-labeled compounds can be performed by dissolving, in an inert organic solvent, the labeling precursor compound prepared in a manner as described above, adding thereto a [123I] sodium iodine solution or the like obtained by known methods, and adding thereto an acid and an oxidizing agent so as to allow a reaction to proceed. As the inert organic solvent in which the labelling precursor compound is dissolved, various solvents having no reactivity wish the labelling precursor and [123I]sodium iodide or the like can be used, and preferably acetonitrile can be used.
- As the acid, various acids can be used, and preferably hydrochloric acid can be used.
- The oxidizing agent is not particularly limited as long as it can effect the oxidation of iodine in the reaction solution, and is preferably hydrogen peroxide or peracetic acid. The amount of the oxidizing agent to be added may be an amount sufficient to oxidize iodine in the reaction solution.
- A compound labeled with a radioactive halogen other than iodine can be synthesized by labeling a labelling precursor that fits a purpose of synthesis with a radioactive halogen that fits the purpose. For example, in order to synthesize [18F]-6-fluoro-2-[2-(1H-1,2,3-triazole-1-yl)pyridine-5-yl]imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine, the labelling precursor 6-nitro-2-[2-(1H-1,2,3-triazole-1-yl)pyridine-5-yl]imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine can be reacted with [18F]fluoride ion in the presence of a phase transfer catalyst and potassium carbonate.
- The diagnostic agent according to the present invention can be prepared as a solution which comprises the present radioactive halogen-labeled compound blended in water, a physiological saline solution or a Ringer's solution optionally adjusted to an appropriate pH, like other commonly-known radioactive diagnostic agents. In this instance, concentration of the present compound should be adjusted to not more than the concentration at which stability of the present compound is ensured. Dosage of the present compound is not specifically limited as long as it is sufficient to obtain an image of distribution of an administered agent. For example, when 123I-labeled compounds or 18F-labeled compounds are used, about 50 to 600 MBq per adult body of 60 kg weight can be administered intravenously or locally. Distribution of administered agents can be imaged by known methods. For example, 123I-labeled compounds can be imaged by a SPECT apparatus while 18F-labeled compounds can be imaged by a PET apparatus.

Compound 1,Compound 3,Compound 4,Compound 5 and [123I]-IMPY were devaluated by the following in vitro binding test. - The assay was conducted using a gray matter homogenate of brain of AD patients and a white matter homogenate of brain of AD patients, which were prepared from a brain tissue (Frontal lobe) of AD patients commercially available from Analytical Biological Services Inc. (United States). Meanwhile, it was confirmed that the brain tissue used in the present experiment showed amyloid deposition in the gray matter but showed no amyloid to be present in the white matter, by immunostaining with an anti-amyloid antibody {AntiHuman Amyloidβ(N) (82E1) Mouse IgG MoAb (Immuno-Biological Laboratories Co., Ltd.)} using thin slices deprived from a common donor.
- A solution of
Compound 1,Compound 3,Compound 4,Compound 5 or [123I]-IMPY was adjusted to a radioactive concentration of 50 MBq/mL using a physiological saline solution containing 50 mmol/L of L-cysteine hydrochloride. The prepared solution was diluted with a 0.1% bovin serum albumin (hereinafter referred to as BSA)-containing 5 mmol/L phosphate buffer saline solution so that the respective test substances had a concentration of 0.05 to 5.5 pmol/L in the reaction solution, to obtain a sample solution. To each well of a 96-well microplate, 150 µL of a 0.1% BSA-containing 5 mmol/L phosphate buffer saline solution and 50 µL of a sample solution prepared above were added. Two wells were afforded to each sample solution. Of the two wells in which each sample solution was added, one received 50 µL of the brain grey matter homogenate of AD patients, and the other received 50 µL of the brain white matter homogenate of AD patients (finial concentration: 100 µg protein/mL), so that the reaction was initiated. After the reaction solution was shaken for 3 hours (22°C, 400 rpm), a glass fiber filter (Multiscreen HTS FB, manufactured by Millipore) was used to filter the reaction solution. The filtrated filter was washed with a 0.1% BSA-containing 5 mmol/L phosphate buffer saline solution (200 µL, 3 times), and then radioactivity remained in the filter was measured with an Autowell Gamma system (type: ARC-7001, manufactured by Aloka).
